Ouch severe knee pain, please help?!
Question:
Ouch severe knee pain, please help?
Will I get a cast?
I sprained my knee kind of bad a few months ago.It popped and I could barely move it. I could hear and feel it pop and I could barely move it after. I also couldn't straiten it out completley without severe pain, I also couldn't move it to the side without severe pain. I didn't go to the doctor but I probably should have because thats what my health textbook said. I'm also 14 years old and the entire day at school I was walking on my tiptoes and limping around. I probably should have used crutches but I didn't. The thing is, now occasionally I will be moving my knee and It will pop, than it will go back but I will limp after that because of the pain than it will stop hurting. I had sprained my wrist and I was trying to be careful when I got on the bleachers and I turned and my knee popped and it hurt extremely bad

It hurt so bad that I almost cried and I couldn't talk for a minute because I was in so much pain. Should I be going to the doctor and will they have me stay off of it so that it will heal correctly, like will I be on crutches and have a brace, long or short leg cast, or will they do nothing. I think that the reason it is popping is because it never really healed correctly. I hurt it because when I was getting into my bed I twisted suddenly and my knee just popped
Answers:
you may have hurt it much more that you think yes, you need to see a doctor. if you broke it, just slightly, like a hairline fracture, what you are saying would be possible. see your doctor, let him x-ray. It can still be treated properly.
